Where there's light, there's hope....?

You've probably seen it scrawled across a few bathrooms as well, but I was fairly desperate for a date at that period in my life. ;-)

I've worked in California, Indiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Washington in hospitals, institutions, group homes, foster care, private homes, nursing homes, universities, and school systems. Oh, I also worked at several bars and restaurants and I was a Kelly Girl for a while, although I can't type for jack. :-( Always moving on, always one step ahead of the law and the pitchfork-carrying lynch mobs. ;-)

What a great place to bring a girl on a first date!!

Go right ahead Lynne ; )

Lynn, I see your name and info peppered all over the site. Where did you work again, that you are so knowledgeable? I worked with the MR/MH population, but I have never been exposed to anything anywhere near as creepy as the places Motts has photographed.

God, I love your sick, twisted genius Motts. I think the stains could be gruesomely beautiful. Lemme get another beer, and I'll have another look.

this is so messed up, I can't even imagine what it must have looked like when it was in operation. It is s-o-o-o-o-o eerie.

kinda small for a bedroom

I think that's a beautiful commode. So much more stylish than the ugly white plastic ones they use now. Was it to be bolted to the floor? What's up with the base on it?

Ed and I can start a commode/furniture business. I can see it now, commode dining tables...

It's my favorite album of theirs!!!

Blood red....oh yes, real perfect for the violent ward *groan*

^ and your old Furby that suddenly decides to start talking when you're rummaging around in a dark corner for something...and you've been nowhere near the thing...
